Thanks! As you are working in what seems to be a corporate environment, are there any security risks with passwordless logins you (have to) take into account?

We thought about it a bit - the main one is that if someone's email is hacked then they can get in without the "second factor" of a password - but given previously our admin's were in the habit of emailing their passwords in plain text when someone forgot them, it seemed like an improvement ;-)
